A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.

I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things as well.

  • I’d say there’s likely something wrong with your service. Maybe it refuses serving on a domain it’s not configured for? Or there’s something wrong with the headers or something like that. Or the internal network. Anyway, the 502 error is sent by the Caddy server. That means everything from your browser to the Caddy server should be fine. You can reach it. There’s something wrong with the service or the parts in-between the reverse proxy and the application.







  • I’d say we have too many reposts and not enough original content here. I mean you probably need to think about the value proposition. What does the Lemmyverse offer to someone from Mastodon? A lot of what we do is post the news and memes. And we got some Linux computer support. Now they already got all of that over on Mastodon. Oftentimes it won’t even be a repost by some third party, but they get more original content because bloggers and comic artists post themselves over there. Along with some computer magazines and news outlets.




  • Yeah, I mean there’s some more reasons to accuse someone of using AI. Fro example repetitive stuff that doesn’t really say anything meaningful. Or if a post sounds 100% like some Reddit stereotype. Or is copied from another place and slightly rephrased. And ChatGPT has a distinctive way of writing. If you always start with a reaffirmation, then point out there’s two sides to each coin and then lose it in some borderline correct, borderline incorrect ramblings… It’ll just sound like ChatGPT to me. I can’t help it! More often than not it’ll turn out it’s a bot. But I’m not correct all the time.

    Clues like someone saying something interesting, or exceptionally stupid would count more towards the human indicators, to me.

    Dunno. I guess we have to put up with it.


  • Dunno, does that help other people? Every time I use it for programming and don’t specifically tell it what to do, it’ll just come up with assumptions. Might go the right direction. Or some random other direction and miss what’d be important factors.
    Telling it for example to find issues with the following algorithm / implementation (and then copy-pasting my initial idea) has indeed helped me to find edge cases and stuff like that.

    I also think there’s an issue with XY-Problems. Either AI suggested X to me. Or it was my fault because I asked for X. But I’ve ended up in several wild goose chases before, and it’s rare AI stops and points out I’m on the wrong path because I need Y.

    Extraneous drivel is very annoying, though. Seems to me especially ChatGPT likes to spam multiple solutions to any question and you can often disregard the first two pages of “ideas” it came up how to NOT do it.







  • Wow. Thanks for sharing. I don’t know what to say… Guess memories like that stick. Luckily I just had very few near death experiences on the road and the accidents I’ve been involved in or helped were within city limits, so at lower speed and people were about okay. But yeah, cars are potentially dangerous machines. Killing someone, or nearly killing someone is some kind of wake-up call to pay attention. But we should all really try hard to make an effort to get it right before this happens.

    I think it’s the same with the uptake in cars here. I’ve been driving for roughly 20 years now. If I remember correctly, rush hour is way longer today as it used to be back then.


  • Fascinating. I think what we have here is a 2 second rule. You’d fix on some static object next to the car ahead, count two seconds and you shouldn’t be passing it before that. Disregarding speed if both cars are moving at the same speed. Easier rule (and what I went with) is half the number on the speedometer. So 50m at 100km/h and that happens to be an easy number in Germany because that’s exactly the distance of the reflector posts next to rural roads and motorways.

    Seems we do 4 seconds less than your rule?! But then maybe that’s the reason why I try to get the distance right… Well until rush hour or the really crowded places, that just seems to be exempt from any rules or common sense 😅

    Edit: Do other people learn a second per 10mph as well? I mean we’re supposed to do more safety distance when wet / bad conditions or there’s a bend or hilltop, but 2 and 6 seconds being correct for good conditions at the same speed seems like a crazy difference to me.
